About Me

Hello fellow travelers,

Following the completion of my bachelor's degree, I began by career as a teacher with an adventure in South Korea. I was able to explore and see that part of the world while I was over there--what treasured memories.

Forever changed by this newfound passion for travelling, I continued to travel while working on juris doctorate at Georgetown in Washington D.C. During those three years, I also moved and lived in Israel and the Netherlands. Both incredible experiences filled with wonderful adventures and people.

I have continued my travelling adventures visiting numerous countries over the past few years for fun, weddings, or work.

I love people, adventure, and travelling, and just about everything else. Fairly laid back and enjoying life.

While not the total sum of my being, it is an important core.

Upcoming trips I am excited about: Italy/Germany/Greece/Turkey in September/October of 2019 & Colombia/Bolivia/Peru in December of 2019.

I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great tool that allows people from all over to connect, express their hospitality, and share their culture.

A healthy mix of positive outcomes!

Interests

The list would be long.

I am a firm believer in a taste of everything. Keeps things interesting. A little of this a little of that. Opera? awesome. Sports? I'm in. Deep philosophical conversations around the fire? Hope my chairs comfy. I'm easily entertained and enjoy most everything in balance.

I love experiencing new things as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Josh Groban / Michael Buble jazz type stuff.
Movies : I like everything except horror. Not a huge crude humor fan either.
Books : Reading is fantastic. Fiction - Non-fiction. Both are greats. Many genres are fascinating. Notable mentions: C.S. Lewis' Cosmic Series, Rockefeller's Biography, and Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How to choose...

Living in Korea was such a fantastic experience. I'm so glad I chose to live there. Riding a motorcycle in Seoul is a thrill.

Other surreal moments include but are not limited to: watching a volcano erupt in Guatemala, swimming in the Dead Sea, sitting outside isolated from people watching the northern lights in Iceland, and swimming in the wild alongside dolphins in Hawaii.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy doing a lot so I can go with the flow. I am pretty laid back so you won't have to worry about me. I think I'm fun company to have around, but I suppose everyone has to decide that for themselves.

if you are a fan of sitting back and having a good conversation about anything, I'd love a good chat.

If you enjoy physical activities, I'd love to go experience the great outdoors or play a sport with you.

If you enjoy art and culture, let's visit the museum or take a walk along a historical, scenic place.

If you like food, I love experiencing new foods. I'm not a food snob, but i definitely have a passion for food. So whether you want to adventure to a new place you've been meaning to try out or you'd like to show me your favorite place, I'm game. Cooking is fun as well. Whether you want to me to cook something outside of normal cuisine for you or you want to teach me how to cook a local delicacy.

And if you'd just like me to go off on my own, I can be independent, and just express gratitude for sharing your house.

Look forward to meeting you and having a splendid time and experience.

Until then, peace to you!
